Leaving: Northern Stage

An immediate, immersive experience that will change the way you think about young people in care and beyond.

Curious Monkey, in association with Northern Stage

Leaving, by Paddy Campbell and directed by Amy Golding, tells the real stories of care leavers and their experiences at the pivotal moment when they leave care. It also gives voice to those working within the system from staff in children’s homes to MPs and policy makers.

Using the young people’s own words, an ensemble of five actors and an award- winning creative team test the boundaries of verbatim theatre to bring these real voices to the stage – their joys and their struggles.
